Mexican Beef Chili with Lime Crema

To cut costs without skimping on flavor, we use cheap cuts of stew beef (chuck or round roasts will do) instead of the pricier ground beef normally used in chili. The slow-and-low heat of your slow cooker easily breaks down the tough cuts into tender, melt-in-your-mouth chunks of savory meat.

Customize your meal by substituting the veggies called for here with whatever winter squash or root vegetables you have on hand, such as carrots, parsnips or even cooking pumpkins like the Cinderella, Baby Bear or Sugar Pie varieties.
